Cook County judge made unwanted sexual advances toward a court reporter, made inappropriate sexual comments about a prosecutor and tried to kiss a police officer — a pattern of harassing behavior toward women, a state board that oversees judges said in a complaint Thursday.
The Judicial Inquiry Board charged that Judge Mauricio Araujo’s alleged conduct spanned from spring 2012 through fall 2018 and was directed “toward women with whom he has interacted in professional settings and in his official judicial capacity.”
The board alleged that Araujo asked the court reporter “how much money” she wanted to have sex with him; referred to the prosecutor as “a bitch”; and tried to kiss a cop, who stiff-armed the judge and sternly said, “Back sir.”
Araujo, 54, a judge for more than a decade, declined to comment Thursday.

After a Tribune story about Araujo’s conduct, a Chicago police officer and court reporter came forward with allegations of their own against the judge, according to the judicial board’s complaint.
In spring 2012, Araujo and the court reporter were in an elevator at the Domestic Violence Courthouse on the Near West Side when the judge allegedly moved close to the woman and asked “‘how much money’ she wanted to have sex with him,” according to the complaint.
The court reporter tried to laugh it off and move away from Araujo, who told her he was “not joking” and again asked “how much,” the complaint states.
Reminds me of Joe Biden and some Virginia pol.
They all hate Latinos.
“Araujo asked the court reporter “how much money” she wanted to have sex with him”
Joe Biden is appalled. “You don’t offer to pay them”, Biden said. “You just grab them and then do whatever you want. The younger, the better.”
“Be’same mucho, mi muy bonita Chica!”
“BACK, SIR!!”
Well, at least the judge was a male going after womens.
He can always blame Madame Ruth, that Gypsy with the Gold Capped Tooth.
Uh oh, here come the Judge
Here comes the Judge
Everybody knows
That he is the Judge

Sounds like elder abuse.
I thought of that song, too!
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
It’s Chicago Laws don’t apply there.
Isn’t Wapner dead?
And no pic? Are you KIDDING me?
Never mind. Can I cancel myself?
